Oasis Web Design and Development

Oasis Design LLC understands small business web design because we are a small business. We know that oftentimes small business web design means an online presence that is professional, flexible and also affordable. We realize that many small businesses would rather update their own websites rather than pay web designers to do so. We build small business websites that incorporate our clients' marketing material into stunning, original web designs and then give them the ability to edit their own content and provide them with the means to do so.

Our office is in East Aurora, New York, however, we build websites for all types of businesses nationwide. We provide innovative solutions for web design and specialize in web photography, Flash and Client Content Management.

This website is an example of a Joomla website. Joomla is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS), which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular website software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. Using Joomla, your web design is derived from a template that you purchase. Therefore, Joomla websites are more affordable that sites that a web designer designs.

We are Volunteers

Oasis Design has a created a website for CROSSROADS SPRINGS AFRICA a non-profit organzation based in East Aurora, New York. Crossroads Springs Africa is an orphanage and school for children in Kenya who have lost one or both parents to AIDS. There is often little chance for even a primary education for children in Kenya given the need to pay for required uniforms and textbooks even for public education. Having begun with 40 vulnerable children in 2004, Crossroads Springs Institute, in Hamisi, Kenya now educates and cares for 340 of these children, children who would otherwise have had little opportunity to improve their lives, but who now have a bright future because of this loving care and outstanding education.

You can help us change these children's lives... donate now or join us at one of our upcoming events! Better yet, join the 120 friends who sponsor a child... 220 more children would love the chance to have that special connection! You can choose the grade and gender of the child and you'll receive a picture and at least one letter each year from the child you sponsor. $700 will feed, clothe, and educate a child for a year!

Portfolio for iPad and iPhone

We have created many websites for artists. Portfolio presentations made possible by Adobe Flash and many other applications provide a pleasing environment in which to view their art. However, I design many of my websites to include the capability for the artist to be able to edit content after the site is built. With portfolio sites built with the aforementioned apps, this was never possible as the artist would have to buy expensive software and take courses in how to then use same and was not willing to do so.

We have recently found an application with which I can design and implement a website for an artist client which he or she can edit, add, change delete images remotely without the need for additional software. The only necessity would be access to the internet. The learning curve for editing with this new system is not pronounced whatsoever.

Furthermore, this application automatically provides an interface whereby the portfolios can be seen on an iPad and an iPhone, (devices for which Flash content is inaccessible), inclusive of the same arrows, thumbnails and other functionality needed for navigation. Here is an example of this wonderful new application. Check it out on your iPhone!
